It's practically a right of passage for this planet by now, apparently.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm working on writing up two different defeats. One being for Gorgrim BadToof and the other for Ta'lok's kin. I'll get Edgar eventually, my bad luck can't hold out forever, right?

I think im going to ask TS on a roll...I hoping i donlt get stuck in a sandstorm...Again...

P.S. Me liek your trolls Robin. Reminds me of V from V for Vendetta.

I wonder if I can get a duel between a Carcharodon Librarian and a daemon of Ewryht'eikl. I can have the daemon start monologuing like:

"You think the darkness is your ally? I was born in the darkness..."

Well, personally, I believe that whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you... stranger.

Dear Lord TS, are you really going to pull a Bane on us?

Don,t know, the number of references we have added so afar is fairly high

I shall break your back Betmen.

Some really top-notch writing all over the place, splendid job everyone

Can't wait for part 2. I like the Predator reference too.

Ok, so still reading Chazz's stuff (Really good stuff) but couldn't help noting there is an 's' in Taranis

I love the punch bowl comment, that was glorious

Great work Robin and EoN. The dialogue of the harlequins is great. As for the Flayed Legion, I love how you played into the ork's barbaric pride and forced them to step into a trap they knew about.

As for the Predator reference, I can't seem to find it, what is it, if someone is willing to share?

Nevermind, I read it wrong...

Challenge accepted: insert Predator reference into part two

XD I'll pick it out...I'm hoping its a subtle one so I can nose around for a bit

I'm so going to include some Vietnam references if i go near those trees, napalm in the morning, col curze and more.

I happened to have just watched Predator last night, so I accept the challenge as well. If my Kroot get into the jungles it will be easy for me to make Predator references left and right in there. And I think Grulkin is the perfect candidate for a "I ain't got no time to bleed" type character. If only Kroot were a bit more accepting of technology, a cyborg kroot would be rather intimidating.

Although I should keep quiet about that, in case any of BC's EC overhear that I'm looking for improvements on my Kroot.

If I ever get into the forest(And survive) I'm gonna have jump pack marines sitting in the trees with plasma guns.

Edit: Which Predator?

Edit the Edit: By Vietnam references your probably just gonna with there and Trigger.

Expect a few a references. Maybe a promethium in the morning or or such. Apocalypse now sytle thinderhawks taking off etc.

The first one. I've been on the hunt for the others (and the Alien movies, for that matter) and found it at a pawn store. I'm well aware that the Internet has the best bet for getting the movies, but it's turned into a matter of pride for me to find the hard copies of them.

Lately I've been lamenting to myself on how it'd be nice to have a subfaction of kroot that are more embracing to technology. Shoulder mounted laser cannons and wrist blades would go a long way to enhance the kroot, methinks.

I can see that working. Btw, how can't you find the movies? I got the box set a while back, went into my local store, and found it again for half price...Maybe its just Aus but still...Shouldn't be that hard to find...

Tbh, I prefer the Alien Movies to the Predator franchise. And I absolutely hate the AvP...

It is. Welcome to the crew buddy. You made it..


And I hope you don't mind if my Eldar come to you instead of you coming to us. We have some bad people after us, so I decided to peace out

Predator 2, despite being an objectively bad movie, is one of my all time favorite films

My local stores don't know culture. I can't find something like Dance Dance Revolution without trying, but good classic movies like Alien? No can do. But I think I've derailed this thread enough with personal issues about movie hunting, so you all have my apologies about that.

I thought it more of a eh kinda movie, I mean, there were some nice bits...But the majority of it was real gakky imo...

To me, some of the movies that I enjoyed the most were actually "bad" according to everyone else.

For example, I loved Predator 2, and that newer one (Gods of Egypt I think it was). I liked both of those a fair bit.

Sure. Go right ahead. We've got prime real-estate with plenty of development opportunities and even a nice Webway Gate, so you've got your transport links as well! Everything you could possibly need for a holiday home or budding planetary campaign. Just try not to talk to the Solitaire - not only is she very annoying, but by nature of being what she is, I hear regular Eldar tend to find her kind of terrifying. But still! Transport links!

Gods of egypt was fine for me. I didnt really like the story that much, but the action thingys made up for it.

Ah, good real-estate, lovely neighbors, one of whom is bat-gak crazy. Love it. I'll try to write up a blurb about my forward scouts basically zooming into your camp and letting everyone know what's going down
